Polarized Men's and Women's Kaupo Gap Aviator Sunglasses

These are wonderful sunglasses. The lenses do not distort the view around the edges. I read an article in the. NYT's Wirecutter on the things one needs for a road trip. They rated the Maui Jim brand as the best. They are light but well made; colors are true; they reduce glare almost completely. They are great for driving. Yes, they are expensive, but not considering the money we spent on our trip, and the comfort of very light glasses resting against my sensitive sinuses. I really love them.

So I ordered these and Amazon sent me the wrong pair of glasses. I was upset because I needed them for a 3 day beach getaway and the eta had them just on time. The box was labeled correctly but miss packaged. They did however send me the correct pair a couple days later but still defeated the purpose. Now that that’s out of the way, I love the sunglasses, which is why I don’t hold them responsible for Amazon’s goof and gave 5 stars. These will be the second pair of Maui Jim sunglasses and I plan to by another color of this model. I was surprised that the frame was plastic, but then having them a few days I realize it’s the lens quality that I love and the plastic frame grew on me. Looking through these lenses is like watching a bright sunny day with the utmost comfort while enjoying the beauty of it all! Update 8-18-21. So I bought the matte blue! And this color is even better. I love Maui Jim. This time around I used the perks of Amazon prime and got them much quicker!

Expensive but well worth it. They fit perfectly and are so light it’s easy to forget you’re wearing them. Frames are flexible and seem to be strong. I’ve managed to drop them twice with no damage or scratches. I like sunglasses a lot as I live in Florida and Maui Jim’s are my favorite. These in particular are my current favorites.

The lenses are heavy and feel authentic. But the frames have made in Japan stamped on it and are cheap and plastic feeling. Disappointed with it since this is my 4th pair of Maui Jim's and it feels cheap and fake. Not like the others did.

Yes these are plastic and light as some have commented. I would imagine if you're careless they could break more easily than metal framed glasses. With that said, these have to be the most comfortable glasses I've ever worn. They are so light that you barely feel them on your nose or ears. The optical quality are also phenomenal. I'm waiting for the brown ones to go down to $179 like these red ones so I can get another pair...but it's 2025 and the way things are going I guess should just appreciate they haven't gone up to $300 let alone come own to $179. :(

Very light and comfortable, but suitable for large faces only, the only drawback is that the price is high and exaggerated, especially because it is made of plastic.

There really isn’t a single con to these glasses. If you are looking for a stylish and comfortable pair of sun glasses that are top of their class in nearly every way. The only lair I have liked as much or more were kapanaali ( hingeless design) with rose lenses and that is just because the fit is so darn amazing. They discontinued this style ( presumably because after every couple of years they needed to replace the lenses due to stress cracking.

This is my 3rd pair of Maui Jim's and I love all 3 pair equally. I would say the Kaupo Gap is best suited for driving rather than boating or fishing-maybe golf if you're a golfer? They are very light and comfortable and can be worn all day long and I love wearing them daily. They seem rather fragile so I would take good care of them and they should last you a long time. Good job Maui Jim!!
